The Perfect Luna

“I can show you instead,” Onyx said, and Riannon felt herself drifting off to sleep. “This is what the Goddess told me to do…”her wolf whispered.

She trusted Onyx with her life and knew that her better half would take good care of her.

But she did not expect what happened to her next as she found herself in the one place she never wanted to see ever again.

It was the day she died. But not the right time. It was hours before the tragedy happened.

She remembered that well and a dull throbbing pain seized in her chest. This was funny … She thought she was already done with all that. Yet now, seeing how her pack was gathering once again for what Brayden told them was a blessing ceremony for his future heir,

“Too late now,” Onyx chuckled in her mind, “But know that if you look carefully, you will find out more than you asked. And not only about yourself.”

This gave her strength. It wasn’t only about her. She wasn’t the only victim. If she could get an important piece of information from being here then she owed it to all the people she loved to try and endure.

She quickly realised that she wasn’t actually there. She could walk among the people and see what they were doing, but none of them saw her. Riannon was just a spirit observing them all and they could even walk through her, not affecting her at all.

This also helped her to calm down. She wasn’t actually reliving the day. She was just watching. A guest who was only there in spirit.

She noticed herself sitting in the summer house in the garden, right where they had the voting the other day. Riannon from the past did not look that well, with hollow cheeks and a pale complexion. She was also thinner than usual and it did not look good at all. The year of
